360-exclusive Split/Second demo releasing this week

Split/Second director Nick Baynes has revealed in the latest Major Nelson podcast that a demo for the OTT racer will hit Xbox Live some time this week.

The taster, which will be a 360-exclusive, will see players try out the airport level from the game. It's unknown, though, when what day it'll be launching.

This is the first a demo for the game has been confirmed for it.

"There's a demo exclusively out on Xbox, which is out this week I believe, so everyone will be able to play the airport track very, very soon on Xbox 360," said Baynes.

Get pumped, kids. We are.

Split/Second releases on May 21 in the UK for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Some most recent footage for it is here.
